1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Retrieving intravesical foreign bodies warrants open cystotomy; therefore, preoperative evaluation of the material, size, shape, and location is essential for surgical planning. A 79-year-old man presented with dysuria and admitted inserting a jump rope into his urethra. Reconstructed three-dimensional computed tomography showed an entangled jump rope; therefore an endoscopic surgery was deemed unsuitable. Instead, the rope was removed through a small open cystotomy. He had no complications. Intravesical foreign bodies are not rare, and they should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms. Three-dimensional reconstruction computed tomography contributes to surgical planning.
